INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
3. Predrill the other hole on each end of the rail using a 3/8” bit. This will be used
to thread the wire through the rail. To keep the wire out of sight, you can also
predrill a small 3/8” hole in the post where it will be hidden by the rail and/or
brackets.
4. Slide the strip light into housing with the white wire on top. Thread the wires
through the inner holes on both ends of the housing and through the inner
holes predrilled on both ends of the rails. This should pull the housing flush with
the rail in the same position as the predrilled holes.
5. Using the screws supplied, fasten the housing to the rail through the outer holes
on both ends.
NOTE: Installing strip lights is easier to do before the top rail is installed.
MoistureShield Pro aluminum railing can also be removed for easier installation.
6. Thread the wires through the predrilled holes on the posts on both ends
to connect wires. Wires of rail lights on sequential posts can be pigtailed
together using wire nuts to create a full circuit that connects to a single
transformer.
TIP: Pigtails can be tested with a 9-Volt battery to be sure they are
connected correclty.
7. On the terminating post, drill a 1” hole through the deck board underneath the
post. Before mounting the post to the deck, thread a loose wire into the post
and pigtail it to the end of the rail strip wires This wire will then need to be
connected to the transformer. Transformers should be housed under the deck.
NOTE: Silicone-filled wire nuts are not included.
